Farhat to score big today

[Ahson8]

I hope Hafeez can put up a performance with the bat today as well as wid the ball

 

[Sherlock]

250 should be the target, anything over that will be a bonus.

I have to go to Jumma very soon so will be praying for a good performance from the boys.

 

[imshally81]

Afridi as a opener today ??
anyone ???

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Tanveer can either bowl not bat. Cheema and Junaid are genuine bowlers with wicket-taking ability and more control.

Haha yes.. All on purpose of course

 

[Ahson8]

C'mon Hafeez

 

[Strike!]

Let's gooooo.

 

[Sherlock]

Off the mark.

 

[Strike!]

Run off the first ball.

 

[IAJ]

What's up with Malinga's tummy, looks fat

 

[talha3]

Shot from Farhat!!!

 

[IAJ]

 

[Strike!]

Farhat hits a

 

[Sherlock]

Shot, 444444

 

[Ahson8]

Farhat :4

 

[Sherlock]

Still dislike him though

 

[Amjid Javed]

Lets hope we can post 250-60 here!

Need to have a good opening partnership!

 

[Sherlock]

Good running.

 

[Ahson8]

Risky Single

 

[*syed59*]

Oh damaad trying to be positive today..

I would like him to play that shot in Aus against Lee, or in SA against Steyn.

 

[talha3]

10 off 4 balls.

 

[IAJ]

more

 

[Sherlock]

444444444444

 

[Ahson8]

Hafeez four

 

[Strike!]

Malinga's not bowling well. Another .

 

[Amjid Javed]

Still dont know why YK and Razzaq and farhat are still in the team!

 

[Ahson8]

Good start ALHAMDULLILAH

 

[Fawad2010]

Morning everyone, nice start!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Hafeez has looked postive in both ODIs and then got out early!

10/0

 

[Ahson8]

leaves this one alone

 

[Strike!]

Straight drive for no runs.

 

[talha3]

I have a feeling Hafeez just needs to survive 7-8 overs. Then he can cash in for a big one.

 

[Smooth_Operator]

Come On Pakistan! 2-0 up in the series today inshallah!

 

[alishahid]

someone please give me a link to watch the match...crictime.com isnt working

 

[Ahson8]

Perera on

 

[Strike!]

2 runs to Farhat.

 

[Smooth_Operator]

I have a feeling Hafeez just needs to survive 7-8 overs. Then he can cash in for a big one.

Yeah I agree.. Hafeez has been getting out way too early lately

 

[Amjid Javed]

Lets hope Hafeez can bat atleast 20-30 overs today!

Pak 10/0 after 1 over

 

[Fawad2010]

Just saw the line-up. Is Tanvir in to boost the batting? I would have brought in Junaid if Cheema needed to be replaced.

But anyways, Lets Go Pakistan!

 

[Smooth_Operator]

At least we are looking positive. Hope I didn't jinx

 

[Strike!]

Those dismissals.

 

[Smooth_Operator]

Those dismissals.

If he gets out the same way today, you know you have a serious problem. But I think most of us already knew this lol!

 

[Fawad2010]

Whats the score you'd feel safe with here?

I think at least 275

 

[Hassan0987]

Tanvir in for Cheema, why not Junaid..?

 

[Smooth_Operator]

Whats the score you'd feel safe with here?

I think at least 275

At least 400+, what with Farhat going to score 201* today

Just kidding,I agree 275+ is what we should be looking at.. pitch looks good for batting.

 

[Strike!]

Hafeez looking to play cautiously.

 

[talha3]

Decent start. But it's important they don't lose a wicket in the first 10.

 

[Amjid Javed]

We need to make sure we play Malinga with respect and put the bad balls away when they come along.

 

[talha3]

Farhat playing positively. Nice to see.

 

[Strike!]

Terrible pull shot.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 14/0 after 2.3 overs

better start then the last game )

 

[Smooth_Operator]

On another note, who thinks Hughes and Watto are both going to get a hundred? Watson has conversion problems. Hughes usually doesn't.

 

[JibranAnsari]

lol@ pull shot. Joke of a batsman.

 

[Hassan0987]

Farhat

 

[Ahson8]

15/0 after 3

 

[alishahid]

Link please!

 

[Smooth_Operator]

My username will never apply to Farhat

 

[Sherlock]

Am I the only one who thinks Farhat cannot pick Malinga's short ball?

 

[Smooth_Operator]

Am I the only one who thinks Farhat cannot pick Malinga's short ball?

I don't know, he usually never lasts that long to receive one

 

[talha3]

Am I the only one who thinks Farhat cannot pick Malinga's short ball?

He's not exactly the only person in the world who can't.

Malinga's main threat is the fuller ball.

 

[Pak_Spin]

arguably i can say imran farhat plays the fastest in our team finally a good sign......

 

[Ahson8]

I don't know, he usually never lasts that long to receive one

Lol

 

[Strike!]

Dropped.

 

[Sherlock]

Oh Dropped

 

[talha3]

ooo lucky hafeez

 

[Ahson8]

Hafeez dropped

 

[Smooth_Operator]

Dropped. h

Actually nvm was really difficult.

 

[Strike!]

Hafeez has gotten out to that shot so many times. issed:

 

[Sherlock]

Good bowler this Perera.

 

[saj001]

Hafeez batting like old of himself. I think he needs to be little more positive

 

[JibranAnsari]

Hafeez looking uncomfortable , might return to puvillion any minute.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Hafeez needs to make SL pay for that dropped catch!

 

[talha3]

Good to see Hafeez taking his time this time. Needs to get back in the groove and then he can cash in later. Let Farhat play the positive role for now.
